«E quelli e questi prendano la mia vivanda col pane che la farò loro e gustare e patire» (Convivio I, i, 13)

The RFNS celebrates the seventh centenary of Dante’s death with a monographic issue dedicated to examining philosophical and theological thought in the Poet’s works, focusing on the strong revival of the study of these themes in Dante’s writings. Having abandoned ideological prejudice thanks to a greater openness to the sense of the history’s course and set aside the paternalistic myth of nineteenth century Danteanism, there has been a change in the choice of themes that have become canonical in Dante’s exegesis. A new path has been formed, with philology married to criticism and careful research of historical sources. The areas touched by the contributions collected in this monographic issue are closely connected with the research in progress at the eighteenth anniversary. The approaches’ versatility to Dante’s texts testifies, once again, to the wealth of opportunities that the works of the Poet offer even to specialists in the philosophy’s various fields.
